Cohen v. G&M Realty L.P.
125 U.S.P.Q.2d 1708 (E.D.N.Y. 2018) aff'd, 950 F.3d 155 (2nd Cir. 2020)
Graffiti may be found in a "graffiti park," or simply on the side of a building.
Graffiti is a unique form of art, often found in city streets. Perhaps that is one of the distinguishing features of graffiti art— how one finds it in the least likely places. But what sorts of copyright protections should be offered to graffiti?
This case was affirmed on appeal in February 2020.
